Any love watches like they love knives????

Sport Watch- Rolex SeaDweller
Normal Watch- Rolex SS/18k Jubilee Datejust
Dress Watch- 1945 Breitling Premier 18k rose & croc strap
Work Pen- MB Meisterstuck black resin BP
Pen & Pencil- MB Meisterstuck sterling silver set (BP & Pencil)
Wallet- Coach billfold with Tiffany SS money clip
Knife- MT SOCOM M/A (but this changes with clothing)
Gun- SIG P229 Nickel 40S&W, Night Sights, Laser Grips, Action Job
Light- Surefire E2 Hard Anodized

The Coach billfold is awesome. The only wallet I have found that can fit the PA CCW without trouble behind a clear plastic window. It has a second clear window for your drivers license. Nice design!
 
Oh yea, my kinda thread.

Sinns, Omegas SMPs, Breitlings, Casio 200m Divers, Fortis' (two inbound), a Tag and I'm in the hunt for a Panerai PAM111 or PAM118.
 
When it comes to watches, I favor thin and light.
Anybody else like Swatches?

My favorite is the Noir Du Chine. I bought it about a year ago from Legends Inc:

I like the small size and simple, black appearance. Also, it has exactly the kind of wrist strap that I was looking for. Leather straps tend to fray, soften, and break on me, but the expandable metal ones are uncomfortable, because they don't fit me well. The strap on this model is made from a tightly woven metal mesh, with the usual holes for fastening it.

The watch was also relatively inexpensive, with free airmail shipping from Australia. It arrived in about 7 days and was very well packaged. It was inside a small, plastic display case, which was inside a thick, styrofoam canister and sealed with packing tape. I have only bought one product from this company, but was very impressed.
 
I wear my Sinn 656 and carry my small Sebenza everyday. I appreciate quality (doesn't have to be expensive) timepieces including my Howard Miller Le Francais grandfather clock.
 
Looks like I'm getting a MarcelloC Tridente for x-mas! 44mm and 500m water resistant. I have heard nothing but great things about these.

Here is another thread with lots of pics and a link to a review:

I wear my seven year old Seamaster Pro every day but have an Oris dress watch on a leather strap for wearing with a suit. I had bought it just before I met my wife to be and she said I was crazy when she found out how much it cost (mind you she now has a ladies version)

my EDC is a small lefthanded regular sebenza. (she does not know how much these cost

:D ) and I planning to keep it that way
 
Just pruchased a Sinn 656 and have to say that for the money it can't be beat. The dial is easy for these old eyes to read.
 
Omega Professional Speedmaster (if it was good enough for Neil Armstrong it is good enough for me)

Rolex Datejust in stainless steel

Seiko 200 meter automatic diver's watch

I have owned the Speedy for over 24 years and my last rebuild cost me more than the watch did when I bought it.

The Datejust doesn't attract the attention the 18K Rolexes attract.

The Seiko takes a beating without me worrying about the effect on its resale value, which is not all that great but then again I didn't pay retail for any of the 3 listed watches.

On my wish list - another Tudor Submariner with the blue face. Good watch with a Rolex made exterior and a good Swiss ETA movement in it. Very sturdy and reliable.
 
Update: I'm now wearing a Panerai 111 and carrying a large Sebenza (classic) with micarta inserts.:o
